Kit Generations Vol. 1: The Greatest Generation
The inaugural competition invites participants to design an outfield kit for any club team, drawing inspiration from football's old era when many football kits had collars. Designers can base their creations on either the Germany 1954 or Manchester United 1993-95 home kit templates, both featuring the distinctive lace-tie collar.
Competition Rules and Guidelines:
- Designs must be for club teams only (national teams excluded)
- A lace-tie collar is mandatory
- No branding or sponsor logos allowed
- Official sleeve badges are optional
- All colors are permitted for creative freedom
The winner will receive a £50 voucher for NI Clasico's vintage football shirt collection, Belfast's specialist vintage football shirt retailer that, of course, also sells online. Additionally, the winning designer will be awarded a one-year Plus Ultimate membership courtesy of Footy Headlines.
This competition represents the first in a series of planned collaborations between Kit Creator, NI Clasico, and Footy Headlines, aiming to celebrate football kit heritage while encouraging modern creative interpretations.

Nike and Kids of Immigrants Goalkeeper Jersey + Total 90 Shoes Released
Nike and streetwear label Kids of Immigrants have officially unveiled a comprehensive collaborative capsule collection. This wider release expands significantly upon the retro football aesthetic, offering a full range of apparel, accessories, and highly unique modified footwear.
The undeniable centerpiece of the expanded collection is the introduction of two bespoke slip-on mules, which draw heavy inspiration from the iconic Nike Total 90 football boot. The mules arrive in two distinct colorways: a muted beige and olive green iteration featuring a speckled sole, alongside a darker, glossy black and rich brown patent leather version. Both pairs are unified by a striking red and yellow outlined Swoosh on the midfoot and tongue, matching the vibrant accents found on the collection's primary jersey.
Rounding out the collaborative effort is a selection of matching apparel and accessories designed to complete the capsule. The standout piece of these other items is a special 1990s keeper kit.
